Re: Obama promises more than 600,000 stimulus jobs

Is it just me, or will those 600,000 jobs make up for about one month's worth of job losses since Novermber 2008?

Isn't this then kinda like bragging about cutting $100M from federal spending?

But its getting better, only 345,000 were lost last month, compared to what the "experts" claimed.....lol.

Ever noticed how the experts are never right? Hey, is it me, or does the term "expert", mean you know what your talking about???? But they are always "surprised" at the numbers that come out month to month.

Re: Obama promises more than 600,000 stimulus jobs

I wonder if we could turn back the clock, erase Bush's stimulus and every ounce of stimulus from Obama since, where we'd be right now.

Dow might be at 11,000. GM would have filed banko anyway. AIG, Fannie, Freddie, BofA, etc. We might be in the exact same situation as now, with less debt, and a vanishing recession.

Books will be written one day on this question alone.

Except for one thing: revisionist history. FDR is glorified as ending the depression and Hoover is regarded as a rugged individualist. Both are bold-faced lies. History will praise the liberal who did the most.

History is being erased right before our eyes. It's a very scary thought.

"the economists"? Which ones? Are you asserting that all economists have the same views and echo the same words? Do you not realize that "the economists" all disagree with each other on pretty much everything?
